Xiao Yan fell into silence, and the huge Yunlan Sect also fell into silence. Countless people, countless pairs of eyes fell on Lin Ran in the sky, and Xiao Yan.
I want to exchange my master's life for my own!
What would you do?
"This guy is really..."
"You and I both know Xiao Yan's character. He is a man who values friendship and loyalty. Is he a devil to make him make such a decision?"
"Master and my own life... What a suffocating choice."
Hai Bodong and the others looked extremely unhappy. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for them to make a rational decision.
Given a choice between one's teacher and one's own life, some people may choose one's own life without hesitation. But under such public scrutiny, even if one chooses one's own life, can one really live a good life in the future?
The scorn and abuse from people around me, and the self-blame and guilt in my heart.
With all these overlapping emotions, can anyone really bear it?
"Xiao Yan..."
Nalan Yanran opened her mouth. If she put herself in his shoes, she would think she couldn't make such a choice if it was put in front of her.
Countless disciples of the Yunlan Sect also fell into silence.
The teacher's kindness is greater than heaven. In this world, a teacher is actually no different from a father.
Abandoning one's master is like abandoning one's father. Even if they are capable of abandoning their father to save their own life, can they really do it in public?
They can't!
Xiao Yan...
What would you do?
"This little guy is really going too far with this choice." In the dark, an old-looking Dou Zun from the ancient clan stroked his white beard and said with a frown.
"Should we take action? After all, this is the person the young lady specifically asked us to protect. If something really happens..."
"Don't worry, this kid won't dare to mess with that little guy, but as for Yao Chen... this kid has just reached a certain level of cooperation with the clan leader, and even got the general Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame, so we can't make enemies with him."
"Let's just keep watching. To be honest, I'm actually a little curious about what Xiao Yan will choose."
"Human nature…"
Countless pairs of eyes were cast at him. Xiao Yan opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
"Little guy, this is making things difficult for you."
Yao Chen's old voice echoed in Xiao Yan's heart. He sighed softly with inexplicable emotions: "To be honest, since the last time this guy showed up, I have already caused you a lot of trouble. This time it's the same again."
"If I were not your master, you should be able to train smoothly in the Tagor Desert."
"If I were not your teacher, you would have been able to complete this three-year agreement with honor and soar to the sky."
"No, that's not it!"
Xiao Yan tried his best to suppress his emotions, his voice filled with anger: "If it weren't for my teacher, how could I, Xiao Yan, be where I am today?! I can't possibly hand my teacher over, absolutely not!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? If it weren't for me, you would still be the number one genius in Wutan City, and you might even be engaged to the girl from the Nalan family."
Yao Chen said with a smile, his tone seemed to carry a hint of carefreeness and relief: "I have taught you everything I can teach you, the rest is up to you. Haha, although this kid is tyrannical, you have unlimited potential. Sooner or later, you will be able to compete with him."
"What you need to do now is to endure, grow, absorb resources, and hone your experience."
Hearing Yao Lao's tone as if he was giving instructions for his last wishes, Xiao Yan's heart suddenly tightened.
He didn't want to give up Yao Chen, he really didn't want to. If there was a chance to fight, he would fight with all his strength, even if it cost him his life.
But facing Lin Ran...
Just as Xiao Yan was thinking about this, Yao Chen's figure slowly emerged from the Bone Flame Ring and said with a faint smile, "Leave it to me, you go to Hai Bodong."
Xiao Yan was startled, and turned to look at Yao Lao's smiling face. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Teacher, you..."
"What is that?"
When everyone saw the illusory figure floating beside Xiao Yan, they all looked shocked and confused. Obviously, they felt extremely unfamiliar with this mysterious and powerful person who suddenly appeared.
However, combined with Xiao Yan's respectful attitude and honorific title towards him, plus the attitude of Han Feng, the Dou Zong powerhouse, everyone guessed the identity of this frivolous old man, and each of them showed an extremely curious look.
What kind of teacher could teach a Dou Zong master?
Fa Ma, who was far away, saw Yao Chen's figure, but his body trembled suddenly, raised his head in disbelief, and said in a lost voice: "It's you! No, you are the old gentleman from that year?!"
Yao Chen raised his head in surprise: "It turned out to be you, little guy. I still remember your aura. I haven't seen you for so many years. I didn't expect that you have some skills."
Yao Chen looked indifferent, but Fa Ma was excited and quickly got down from his seat, then bowed to Yao Lao from a distance.
"Old sir, I will never forget your kindness in guiding me back then, but today..."
"What happened today has nothing to do with you, no need to say more."
Yao Chen smiled and shook his head, raised his hand, and in front of everyone's astonished eyes, knocked Xiao Yan unconscious with one palm, then used the power of his soul to carry him to Hai Bodong's side.
Then he looked at Lin Ran with a calm gaze and a free and easy expression.
"Come on, kid. I hope you'll keep your word and put an end to the grudges between you and me!"
My true self?
Yao Chen's self-introduction made the pupils of countless powerful men shrink slightly.
Only Dou Zun masters are qualified to use this title, which means that the old man in front of him was actually a Dou Zun master back then?
Oh, right, the young man also used the title of the original master, so could it be that...
"Should I praise you for your grace and self-sacrifice, or should I call you foolish and pretentious?"
Lin Ran sneered and waved his hand, and the space around Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong suddenly froze and was blocked.
"As long as I wish, you will all die here. Don't think I don't know what you are thinking, old man."
"You think I will take into account the power behind Xiao Yan's girlfriend, right? You are right. I really can't afford to offend the power behind that girl. But if you really make me angry, I will slap you all to death and then escape for a few years. What can you do?"
"So, get the situation straight, old man."
The holy flame in Lin Ran's palm burned, and the dazzling flame made Yao Chen feel a suffocating sensation of heat.
This flame actually frightened even his Bone Spirit Cold Fire!
"What do you want?" Yao Chen said in a deep voice.
"What do I want?"
Lin Ran sneered: "To be honest, your lives are worthless to me, but to the people around me, you always have different value and meaning."
"For example, my teacher, and for this filial son."
Lin Ran glanced at the half-dead Han Feng behind him and said, "You are very valuable to them."
Yao Chen fell into silence. Looking at Lin Ran's dark eyes, he suddenly understood something.
Without hesitation, Yao Chen raised his palm slightly, and a storage ring floated towards Lin Ran.
"It contains the medicine recipes and experiences I have gained over the years, as well as some martial arts techniques..." Yao Chen paused for a moment, and continued, "It should also contain what you want."
"oh?"
Lin Ran showed a rather playful smile: "Do you know what I want?"
Yao Chen's gaze fell on Lin Ran, and a strong soul force surged out, enveloping Lin Ran and Yao Chen.
After doing all this, Yao Chen spoke softly.
"If I'm not mistaken, your flame is also a strange fire, and it's a fused strange fire."
"To be honest, I don't know what power you borrowed to do this, but I have to admit that you are a genius, a true genius. Even among those ancient races, I have never seen anyone more outstanding than you."
"In terms of potential alone, you are the strongest person I, Yao Chen, have ever seen. Even that boy's girlfriend cannot compare to you."
"But strange fire is strange fire. It contains the most terrifying power in the world. Ordinary power cannot be integrated at all. The Burning Technique is the only power I know that can integrate strange fire!"
Yao Chen's eyes were gleaming: "I'll give you the Burning Technique, and you release Xiao Yan."
"You think so highly of that boy?"
Lin Ran frowned slightly.
"I believe in myself. People don't have many opportunities to make choices in their lives. I failed once before. This time, I think I won't make the same mistake again."
"interesting."
Lin Ran chuckled and put the ring into his pocket: "To be honest, I am also optimistic about that boy. It's not his talent, but a feeling. A feeling that he is destined to become one of the strongest in this world."
"Perhaps, this is why you, an old man, are so willing to pay for him..."
Emperor Yan, Xiao Yan... hehe.
Lin Ran's gaze fell on Xiao Yan, who was in a coma with his eyes closed in the distance, and he murmured in his heart.
Suddenly, he smiled.
Then let's give it a try, let's see whether it's you or me who can walk towards the magnificent throne of the sky!
"Yao Chen!"
Lin Ran waved his hand, and the surging Dou Qi shattered Yao Chen's soul blockade. The Dou Qi surged, and the unconscious Xiao Yan was actually awakened by this Dou Qi.
He raised his head in a daze, and could vaguely see the figures of Yao Chen and Lin Ran. He subconsciously stretched out his hand and murmured.
"Teacher, no, don't leave me, teacher."
"Little guy..." Yao Chen murmured.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
But the next moment, an unstoppable and terrifying suction force suddenly came out.
Yao Chen turned his head suddenly and found that there was an object emitting black mist in Lin Ran's palm.
"This is... a soul bag? Are you from the Soul Palace?!"
"Hehehe!"
Lin Ran sneered, and the soul bag in his palm released a strong suction force. Amidst the shock of Yao Chen, the fear of the people around him, and the incredulous and dull eyes of Xiao Yan, he took Yao Chen's soul into the bag.
Yao Chen only had time to emit a pale flame before his entire body was swallowed by the soul bag.
The flame flickered, and finally flashed across the space like lightning and rushed into Xiao Yan's forehead.
"Little guy, maybe the teacher can't stay by your side anymore. You have to rely on yourself for everything. Haha, after so many years, you are no longer the little boy who needed the teacher to be by your side at all times. In the future, you will go further than the teacher predicted... I hope I can see that day again."
A flame flashed across Xiao Yan's forehead, and a soft, old voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
Hearing these words, Xiao Yan's body suddenly trembled violently. His confused mind was now completely clear. He bit his lips tightly with his teeth, and blood oozed out.
The scene he least wanted to see finally appeared!
"Don't worry, teacher won't die so easily. This ray of fire is the origin of Bone Spirit Cold Fire. I will leave it on your forehead. When you are proficient in it, you will be able to cast Bone Spirit Cold Fire. However, because I have already refined it, your Burning Technique cannot devour and refine it. Of course, if I really encounter misfortune that day, the fire mark on your forehead will automatically disappear, and the Bone Spirit Cold Fire will become ownerless. At that time, it will be the last gift from the teacher to you. Devour it..."
"Haha, and the ring where I hide my soul is called the 'Bone Inflammation Ring'. It contains the method to crack your second brother's 'Life Devouring Pill' and some of my memories. If you meet my old friend Venerable Feng in the future, show him this ring. He will believe everything you say... and will help you."
"This kid named Lin Ran is the young master of the Yunyu Sect, but his real identity is a member of the Soul Palace… I should have thought of this earlier. It is normal for an evil sect like the Yunyu Sect to be mixed with an evil force like the Soul Palace, isn't it…"
"Although I have fallen into the hands of the Soul Palace, it is not easy for them to refine my soul. Perhaps we will have a chance to meet again in the future, but you must remember not to act recklessly before you have the strength. If you want to save your master and your father, you cannot allow any accidents to happen!"
"Haha, little guy, you are my proudest student. I have always been very satisfied with you."
In his mind, the gentle laughter slowly dissipated, and a white flame mark gradually appeared on Xiao Yan's forehead.
"No! No!"
"Teacher, teacher!!"
Xiao Yan, who had a dazed expression, suddenly woke up, his eyes turned red in an instant, and with a roar, Purple Cloud Wings flashed behind him. He flapped his wings and flew madly towards Lin Ran. As he flew, blood-red flames suddenly emerged from his hands and quickly merged.
"Asshole, give the teacher's soul back!!!"
"Huh?"
Lin Ran smiled faintly, his eyes narrowed, and an incomparable and terrifying pressure burst out from his body. Xiao Yan, who had not yet flown a few meters high, suddenly felt an unimaginable terrifying pressure. With a thud, he was directly pressed to the ground by this momentum.
A mouthful of blood spurted out, making Xiao Yan look extremely embarrassed.
But he ignored all this and continued to raise his head and neigh at the sky.
"Give the teacher back to me, give the teacher back..."
"Look, what a touching scene! You're making me look like some unforgivable villain."
Lin Ran took a step forward and appeared in front of Xiao Yan in an instant.
He half-knelt down, grabbed Xiao Yan's hair with one hand, lifted him up, and looked into his eyes.
"Did you see it clearly?"
Lin Ran said softly.
"Do you see me clearly? I am the one who turned your glorious moment into such a tragic one. I am the one who took your teacher away, leaving you howling like a stray dog."
"To be honest, you are really lucky to have such a teacher who is willing to give everything for you. Unlike me, my three old teachers didn't even bother to look at me and directly chased me to such a remote place."
Xiao Yan glared at Lin Ran, his eyes were fixed on Lin Ran, as if there was a fire burning, as if a lion was roaring, and the anger contained in his eyes seemed to burn the whole world to ashes!
"Anger, hatred. Really nice emotions."
Lin Ran grinned and patted Xiao Yan's face.
"Hate me, kid. Only the power of hatred can make you grow more outstanding. I can't wait to see what you will look like in the future."
Along with the sneer, the space where Lin Ran was located suddenly distorted, and Han Feng disappeared along with him.
Without the constraints of space, Xiao Yan suddenly grabbed his head and roared softly, which was filled with pain and sadness.
"No, teacher! Teacher!!"
"Xiao Yan!"
Hai Bodong's figure instantly appeared beside Xiao Yan.
Looking at Xiao Yan, whose eyes were red and filled with tears, Hai Bodong sighed softly: "I know how you feel right now, and it's meaningless to say anything. But what you should do now is not to give up on yourself here, but to work hard on your cultivation!"
"He has placed all his hopes on you. Don't let him down... And you are not alone now. At least, you still have us, right?"
Looking at Xiao Yan who was roaring in pain like a wounded beast, everyone in the field fell silent. They could never have imagined that things would turn out like this.
In the square, Nalan Yanran was staring blankly at the young man with a painful expression on his face. Suddenly, Nalan Yanran raised her head and looked behind her, where she felt a familiar breath.
"It's the teacher!"
"metropolitan!"
"The master is back, master!"
Yun Yun walked out with a gloomy expression, holding a long sword in her hand, her aura fluctuating. She paused for a moment as she stared at Xiao Yan, who looked like a dead ash in the center of the field. Then she set her gaze on the elders of the Yunlan Sect who were already dead, as well as Yun Shan.
There is no doubt that they are all dead, killed by the guardian Wu.
"Teacher, we..." Nalan Yanran quickly came to Yun Yun's side and spoke in a low voice.
She also could not have imagined that what was supposed to be a three-year agreement between her and Xiao Yan would turn out like this. Not only did Xiao Yan suffer heavy casualties, but the Yunlan Sect also suffered huge losses for no apparent reason, and even their master died.
As time passed, countless people's eyes were focused on Yun Yun. Even Hai Bodong, Xiao Yan and others looked at Yun Yun.
"Sect Master Yun...what happened today was definitely not our original intention. No one knew that things would turn out like this, so..."
Hai Bodong's eyes were solemn.
Yun Yun's strength is above his. Once the fight starts, he will be able to hold Yun Yun back, and the rest of the people from the Yunlan Sect can be easily torn to pieces.
"Your Excellency the Ice Emperor, there is no need to say more. Let's end today's matter here."
Yun Yun waved her hand, as if she didn't want to talk to them any more. She turned around and looked at Nalan Yanran: "Yanran, bring the bodies of the teacher and the elders back and take good care of them. I'm tired."
Nalan Yanran bit her red lips lightly and nodded.
"Yes, teacher."
Hai Bodong and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. After bowing to Yun Yun, they quickly grabbed Xiao Yan and left quickly.
This place is really too terrifying. I originally thought it was just a competition between two younger generations, but no one could have imagined that things would develop like this.
Now that Yunshan was dead and half of the elders were dead, Yun Yun did not go crazy and kill them all on the spot. This was already very restrained and rational!
It's just...
After today, the situation in the Gama Empire will probably change again!
